KOBELCO Construction Machinery Co.,Ltd.'s reported carbon emissions

In 2023, KOBELCO Construction Machinery Co., Ltd. reported total carbon emissions of approximately 21.5 million kg CO2e. This figure reflects a slight increase from the previous year's total of about 20.7 million kg CO2e in 2022. The emissions data for 2023 indicates that the company has not disclosed specific Scope 1 or Scope 2 emissions, but the combined total for these scopes is approximately 15.6 billion kg CO2e. KOBELCO's emissions data is cascaded from its parent company, Kobe Steel, Ltd., which is responsible for the broader corporate climate strategy. However, KOBELCO has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments, nor has it reported any significant achievements in emissions reduction. The company operates within an industry context that increasingly prioritises sustainability and carbon footprint reduction, yet it currently lacks defined targets under frameworks such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). As a current subsidiary, KOBELCO's climate performance is influenced by the overarching strategies of its parent organisation, but specific commitments at the subsidiary level remain unspecified.
